The birth of Christ on December 25 ? Sukkot as the date is supported by Elizabeth's Zacharias served as a high priest and John would have been born on Pesach. Factor in when Miriam visited her cousin Elizabeth, John (1:14) tells us that Yah'shua was made flesh The word "dwelt" in the Koine Greek is: Eight days after the beginning of Sukkot is Eight days after a Jewish male is born he is circumcised. After the Eighth day comes the the most Joyous day: Nine months back from Sukkot is Chanukah
A clear reading of the Holy Word of G-d would lead to another date.
A date commanded by YHvH with clear Biblical meaning and understanding.
Chanukah is a great time for followers of the Jewish Messiah to celebrate.
The eight day Feast of Chanukah echoes of the eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles
Chanukah was most likely when the "light of the world"
(John 8:12) entered human form and tabernacled among us.
Feast of Tabernacles is the birth day of Yah'shua.
This question is answered when you believe and trust
the Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1.
Yah'shua's birth on Sukkot
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
(Sukkot is the Feast of Tabernacles or booths,
where we live in temporary shelters.
Sukkot is when YHvH took on a temporary
garment to be with His People
and to die as the Lamb of G-d on Pesach
in order to bring salvation to all
who would call on His Name:
(Romans 10:13 & Joel 2:32)
Yah'shua ( YHvH is become my salvation)). Ps. 18:2, 46; 27:1; 35:9; 38:22; 88:1;
118:14; 119:174; 140:7; Isa. 12:2; 56:1;
61:10; Mic. 7:7; Hab. 3:18
pregnancy of John the Immerser.
The time sequence is outlined by the
Holy Word of Elohim in Luke 1 with Zacharias.
based on his tribe, we know when he served
(1 Chronicles 24:7-18) and when he was
struck dumb and when John was conceived.
Most Jews believed that Elijah
would come at Pesach to announce
the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5).
Elizabeth was six months pregnant (Luke 1:26)
Thus the timing of Yah'shua's birth can be ascertained.

where the light entered the temple.
All of that ignores revelation 12 when a sign in the heavens was seen..
That sign, where a woman was clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, is a real astronomical event. It occurred Gregorian September 26th this year. (It has moved in 2000 years so it wasn’t in ‘September’ back then.
It is, though, New Moon Day when a visible crescent is used to determine a new month.
It is actually at the end of the new moon day when that sign can be seen..
a full moon would not be under the constellation’s feet at the time of a midmonth feast.
It would be on the opposite side of the sky so He wasn’t born Tabernacles but it doesn’t mean He wasnt born at an appointed time.. what unfolds is truly the Word becoming Flesh and dwelling among us..
The ezekiel 46 calendar template shows us that after the new moon, there are six work days, then the weekly sabbath.
The Messiah’s life followed that calendar. And Israel was taught this very calendar .
New moon day- birth (a specific month-1st day of month)
Eighth day of month is the 7th day Sabbath ( 1 new moon + 6 work days+ 1 sabbath=8)
He was born on a new moon day, circumcised the 8th day, which on our Heavenly Father’s calendar is a weekly Sabbath.
He was to be dedicated in the temple 40 days after His birth, per Torah.
It would be the 10th day of the next month... the only appointed day that falls on the 10th day of any month is Yom Kippur, the 10th day of the 7th month. So He was dedicated in the temple on the Day of Atonement! And we know that 5 days later was Tabernacles so certainly He tabernacled there!
He was then baptized on His 30th birthday, again on a New Moon Day, the first day of the 6th month. Scripture details that he immediately was led into the wilderness for 40 days- certainly a shadow from His mother’s purification at His birth.
We know He laid His life down on Feast of Passover, the 14th day. Rested on the weekly and annual Sabbath of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day of the month,and rose on the first day of the week, the 16th day, Feast of First Fruits.
This year, Passover was on a gregorian Monday for most. Problem is, First Fruits is normally observed on Gregorian Sunday and not the third day as new covenant believers and scripture confirms.
But because Ezekiel’s template is ignored for Rome’s calendar, the 15th day of the 7th month is only seen as a annual Sabbath and not also a weekly one.
The Messiah’s life need not be a mystery to His Bride..we can know it all
But it helps to reject the world’s system and go with scripture.
His birth, an appointed time
His circumcision, an appointed time
His dedication in the temple, an appointed time
His baptism, an appointed time
His death, an appointed time
His burial, an appointed time
His resurrection, an appointed time
His return?????
If we don’t see New Moon Days, Sabbaths and Feasts as appointed times (Moeds) we will settle for things like December 25, easter and Saturday/Sunday Sabbaths..
None of those are truth. They are counterfeits to truth..
On His calendar, yesterday Moon’s day, was His 22nd day of His month, His weekly Sabbath.. the world called it a work day.
But only can one see that if they see scripture as the final authoity and not Rome.. Rome isn’t just influential with catholics or Christians.. the world doesn’t run on a calendar named after pope gregory by accident. It is prophetic.
